The Naval Aviation Museum Foundation invites audiences to ride along with two new large-format films opening at the National Naval Aviation Museum’s IMAX® Theatre on April 10. Actor and pilot Harrison Ford narrates the National Geographic Studios feature, “Living in the Age of Airplanes.” The film takes audiences around the globe on an epic journey to 95 locations in 18 countries spanning all seven continents to remind us how, in a single century, aviation has changed our world forever. Directed by Brian J. Terwilliger with an original score by Academy Award®-winning composer and pilot James Horner (“Avatar,” “Titanic”) and cinematography by Andrew Waruszewski, ”Living in the Age of Airplanes” offers a fresh perspective on a modern-day miracle that many of us take for granted - flying. The film highlights the astonishingly rapid advancements that have lead to a world in which 100,000 flights take off and land every day. “Since we were all born into a world with airplanes, it’s hard to imagine that jet travel itself is only 60 years old, just a tick on the timeline of human history,” said Terwilliger. “With this film, we want to reignite people’s wonder for one of the most extraordinary aspects of the modern world.” To view the “Living in the Age of Airplanes” trailer online, visit: http://www.airplanesmovie.com/. The second feature film, “Journey to Space,” presented by K2 Communications and Giant Screen Films, explores the next steps for human space exploration. Narrated by prolific actor Sir Patrick Stewart, celebrated for his roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and Professor Charles Xavier in the “X-Men” film series, the film will take audiences on a behind-the-scenes tour of the international effort to send astronauts to Mars within the next 20 years. “Journey to Space” showcases the concepts, hardware and people that will carry out the next generation missions that will make humanity a spacefaring species. “It was a delight to contribute to this exciting film project, which will let audiences young and old know how surprisingly close we are to sending humans into deep space,” said Stewart. Director Mark Krenzien added, “Patrick’s narration is the perfect icing on our space-story cake. Everyone in the studio was beyond impressed by his enthusiasm for the project and his dedication to every nuance and detail.” To view the “Journey to Space” trailer online, visit: http://journeytospacefilm.com/.
